Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript from early Christianity, copied by an anonymous monk. This document is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century, but it has never been properly translated and decoded. Until now. Working with an expert team of translators and digital imaging experts, acclaimed authors Simcha Jacobovici and Barrie Wilson provide the first~ever translation from Syriac into English of this unique document that tells the inside story of Jesus' social, family and political life. The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an unparalleled historical adventure through this paradigm~shifting text. What the authors eventually discover is as astounding as it is surprising: the confirmation of Jesus' marriage to Mary the Magdalene; the names of their two children; a previously unknown plot on Jesus' life more than a decade prior to the crucifixion; an attempt to abduct Mary and kill their children: the politics behind the crucifixion; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul's~the Church of Mary the Magdalene. Part detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia. Jacobovici and Wilson's astounding discovery and vigorous scholarly research position this ancient text alongside the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic writings as pillars of our evolving understanding of the historical Jesus.

Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Gathering dust at the British Museum is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, written by an anonymous monk, at least 1,600 years old, providing the first ever translation from Syriac into English of a profound document—some twenty-nine chapters in length —that tells us the inside story of Jesus’ social, family, and political life. The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an exciting adventure through this highly informative ancient manuscript. After decoding the basic symbolism, something surprising and groundbreaking was discovered: confirmation of Jesus' marriage to Mary Magdalene the names of their two children; the towering presence of Mary Magdalene (a Gentile priestess), a serious plot on Jesus’ life in 19 C.E. prior to the crucifixion; an assassination plot against their children; Jesus’ connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire—Emperor Tiberius and his protégé Sejanus; a religious movement that antedates that of Paul—the Church of Mary Magdalene.
